Unfortunately, I had to cancel my stay at Joe's (Wasat) house on the klong the morning of my stay, because of illness. This was to have been a local adventure for me, as I live in Bangkok, so I hope to be able to experience Joe and his family's hospitality, home and neighborhood at some other time. What I will say to others considering Bang Luang House is that the communication with both Joe and, on the day of the reservation, with his sister was impeccable. Joe provided me with great directions for a taxi ride across the city, provided me with his sister's mobile number in case there were issues, as well as information on local Thai restaurants for lunch, and on the nearby night market for dinner.
